Extend/Apply. Grasp the ideas in the thing to which you are responding and take them further. If the text is theoretical, pursue the implications of the ideas with regard to specific situation or example.
Connect/Compare. Bring the text to which you are responding into “dialogue” with other texts you’ve read, class discussion, your experiences, your expectations for the future.
Agree/Disagree. It’s easier to be interesting by disagreeing than by agreeing, but I believe the ability to agree creatively is also important.
Discover/Interpret. Try to read (that is, make meaning of) the text in a way that will not be obvious to most readers. Try to notice something others might not notice.
Raise some intelligent, fruitful, questions. You may also want to answer your own questions. You can speculate by asking “What if . . . ?”
Pull together ideas and examples from diverse sources and pose a unifying idea, insight, or theme related to the reading.
Look back on a previous reading, response, class discussion, or other experience, and see whether the current text gives you a new idea or leads you to change your mind.
In response to the reading some research. Share relevant information, evidence, facts, quotations, clippings, details, and other data.
